ASTM D4995-10(2015)

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: D4995 − 10 D4995 − 10 (Reapproved 2015)
Standard Specification for
Electronic and Degreasing Grades of
1,1,2–Trichloro 1,2,2,–Trifluoroethane Solvent
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4995; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for three grades of trichlorotrifluoroethane solvent:
1.1.1 Type I electronic or ultra-clean grade,
1.1.2 Type II standard or vapor-degreasing grade, and
1.1.3 Type IIA general purpose, packaged in a pressurized container grade.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.

3. Classification
3.1 Type I—Type I solvent is intended for use in the cleaning of space vehicle components, precision assemblies, oxygen
systems and electronic equipment by the processes of spraying, flushing, vapor degreasing, or ultrasonics. The solvent is especially
applicable for cleaning precision parts and assemblies in clean rooms and for use as a medium in testing the cleanliness of
components that are assumed to be clean.
This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D26 on Halogenated Organic Solvents and Fire Extinguishing Agents and is the direct responsibility
of Subcommittee D26.03 on Cold Cleaning.
